We’ve survived a winter fury, a cookie exchange and a birthday celebration for Grandpa Bob … and that was just one weekend!  We’re busy preparing for Christmas, but have found time to share some photos with you.  We’ll be posting a bunch more after the Christmas and the new year.  Today Aidan had a Winter Assembly at school.  While it was mostly a 2 hour bout of listening to off key singing and budding musicians, we survived - and as soon as we can digitize the video, we’ll make it available here.  Aidan and his peers in the school’s 3 kindergarten classes sang a Kwanzaa chant, All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth and the Hanukkah song.  His school is officially celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Ramudan and had songs and presentations about each holiday. 

Last weekend, Elise got to dance the nutcracker with real ballerinas along with an orchestra.  Photos from all these occasions are now in the gallery.
